David concentrates on the issues of employee recruitment and defection of highly-compensated employees: covenants not to compete, non-solicitation, non-use and non-disclosure agreements, unfair competition, employee raiding, trade secrets and confidential business information, duty of loyalty, and the protection of business data under various federal and state statutes. David’s cases typically involve prosecuting or defending against requests for temporary and preliminary injunctions, as well as damages actions. David’s practice includes a particular focus on representing companies navigating the complex issues surrounding en masse defections, hiring multiple employees from a competitor, and employee movement precipitated by mergers and acquisitions. David has handled hundreds of employee recruitment/defection matters.
